The Jury In the case of XV. C. Rogers, on trial for the murder of Saloon Keeper Hert Forney, returned into court at 1:30 thla morning with a verdict of murder In the second degree. The punishment for this crime Is imprisonment at the discretion of the court, the law fixing neither a maxi mum nor a minimum penalty. Judge Wheeler, acting for Judge Thornell, re ceived the verdict. The prisoner was taken back to bis cell and will be sentenced later by the Judge who presided at the trial. Attorney Ware, who made the closing argument for the defense, occupied the en tire forenoon, concluding a few minutes be fore the noon recess. Assistant County At- tomey Hess begun the concluding argu I ments for the state after dinner and fln ! Ished alxmt 3 o'clock. The case was given j to the jury at 4 o'clock. Detective Daugherty of Clinton la here with a bench warrant for Rogers In the event of his ncquital on the murder charge.

Witnesses Get Little. i Boenort and C. II. Young, the Chicago witnesses for the defense who were sub poenaed at the expense of the state, were much surprised to learn yesterday when they went to receive their witness fees that the state would not allow them any mile age. The mileage was refused on the rec ommendation of County Attorney Klllpack, who takes the stand that the defense could have aken the depositions of these wit nesses and that the supreme court has held that where it was possible for the evidence of the witnesses living at a dis tance to have been taken by deposition the state was not liable for mileage. It la said that when Rogers' attorneys ap plied for an order to aubpoenae the wit nesses for the defense at the expense of the state the court tirdered that the ques tion of mileage be left for future deter mination. County Attorney Klllpack now arguea that the attorneya for Rogera be fore subpoenaing their witnesses should have had this question determined by the court or else have secured their testimony by depositions. Aa the matter now stands these two wit nesses have been paW but their witness fees of $1 per diem and are out the money they have paid for their fare from Chicago and back. J. noenert stated yesterday that he would remain here and bring suit to recover his mileage unless the court made an order for Its payment. Attorney Myn ster has prepared and will file with the court Monday a motion to have the fees of these witnesses ret axed and their mileage allowed. Olsen Bros., plumbing. TOO B'way. Tel. A4U.

Members of the board, however. It Is understood, do not look with favor on the proposition to erect a new school building at this time, but If the request to sub mit th proposition bears the necessary number of signature of bona fide tax payers the board will have no choice In the matter but to submit to the voters at the school election on March 14.

MORE LATITUDE FOR BANKS B.li Pastes Eonsa Lone Desired by, the EstIuiji Ins-ltntions. CAN INVEST MONEY OUTSIDE OF STATE Attorney Uencrai Takes Step. Beform the Incorporation Law. of the State Open Hearst Headquarters. (From 6ts.fT Correspondent.) DES MOINK8. Feb. 30. (Special.) The two hoiigPB of the legislature held brief sesHlons today and adjourned, the senate until 11 o'clock Monday and the house to 10 o'clock Tuesday next. The house passed a measure of great Importance relating- to savings banks, which removes the limita tion on savings banks of Investment of :helr funds within the state. This llmlta '..on has been on the statute books since the beginning of the savings banks system. They have tried many times to get it re moved so that, especially in the case of banks In cities on the borders of the state, they may do business In adjoining state. The house today voted 3 to Si to remove this limitation, after much spirited discus sion. It was strongly contended by those who opposed the measure that it would open the way' to looses by permitting the Investment of funds by savings banks In states where thf secv;-'ty Is not good and thus weaken the entire savings bank sys tem. A bill to prevent trouble for note mak ers, chiefly those who have given Insur ance notes of various kinds, was paused. It makes a provision where suit has been brought on a note In a county other than that. In which the defendant Uvea and he appears to defend and the plaintiff aban dons the suit, the Justice Is required to charge up the fees to the plaintiff, Includ ing an r.ttorney fee. The bill Is almtd at the Insurance notes which are made pay able at the home office and on wjilch stilt Is brought when there Is na valid cace and then abandoned if there Is defense, but which suits are generally settled as cheaper than to defend and defeat them. It piused 07 to 10. A bill to change the tin e of meeting of the State Roard of Health from Muy to July snd from November to January WuS passed. Fcnnte Proceed Inas.
